ScopedArtifactsOperation

interface ScopedArtifactsOperation<T : Task>

Defines all possible operations on a ScopedArtifact artifact type.

Depending on the scope, inputs may contain a mix of org.gradle.api.file.FileCollection, RegularFile or Directory so all Task consuming the current value of the artifact must provide two input fields that will contain the list of RegularFile and Directory.

Summary

Public functions
`Unit`	`toAppend(to: ScopedArtifact, with: (T) -> Property<FileSystemLocation>)` Append a new `FileSystemLocation` (basically, either a `Directory` or a `RegularFile`) to the artifact type referenced by `to`
`Unit`	`toGet( type: ScopedArtifact, inputJars: (T) -> ListProperty<RegularFile>, inputDirectories: (T) -> ListProperty<Directory> )` Set the final version of the `type` artifact to the input fields of the `Task`.
`Unit`	`toReplace(type: ScopedArtifact, into: (T) -> RegularFileProperty)` Transform the current version of the `type` artifact into a new version.
`Unit`	`toTransform( type: ScopedArtifact, inputJars: (T) -> ListProperty<RegularFile>, inputDirectories: (T) -> ListProperty<Directory>, into: (T) -> RegularFileProperty )` Transform the current version of the `type` artifact into a new version.

Public functions

toAppend

fun toAppend(to: ScopedArtifact, with: (T) -> Property<FileSystemLocation>): Unit

Append a new FileSystemLocation (basically, either a Directory or a RegularFile) to the artifact type referenced by to

Parameters
`to: ScopedArtifact`	the `ScopedArtifact` to add the `with` to.
`with: (T) -> Property<FileSystemLocation>`	lambda that returns the `Property` used by the `Task` to save the appended element. The `Property` value will be automatically set by the Android Gradle Plugin and its location should not be considered part of the API and can change in the future.

toGet

fun toGet(
    type: ScopedArtifact,
    inputJars: (T) -> ListProperty<RegularFile>,
    inputDirectories: (T) -> ListProperty<Directory>
): Unit

Set the final version of the type artifact to the input fields of the Task. Those input fields should be annotated with org.gradle.api.tasks.InputFiles for Gradle to property set the task dependency.

Parameters
`type: ScopedArtifact`	the `ScopedArtifact` to obtain the final value of.
`inputJars: (T) -> ListProperty<RegularFile>`	lambda that returns a `ListProperty` or `RegularFile` that will be used to set all incoming files for this artifact type.
`inputDirectories: (T) -> ListProperty<Directory>`	lambda that returns a `ListProperty` or `Directory` that will be used to set all incoming directories for this artifact type.

toReplace

fun toReplace(type: ScopedArtifact, into: (T) -> RegularFileProperty): Unit

Transform the current version of the type artifact into a new version. The order in which the replace Tasks are applied is directly set by the order of this method call. Last one wins and none of the previously set append/transform/replace registered Tasks will be invoked since this Task replace the final version.

Parameters
`type: ScopedArtifact`	the `ScopedArtifact` to replace.
`into: (T) -> RegularFileProperty`	lambda that returns the `Property` used by the `Task` to save the replaced element. The `Property` value will be automatically set by the Android Gradle Plugin and its location should not be considered part of the API and can change in the future.

toTransform

fun toTransform(
    type: ScopedArtifact,
    inputJars: (T) -> ListProperty<RegularFile>,
    inputDirectories: (T) -> ListProperty<Directory>,
    into: (T) -> RegularFileProperty
): Unit

Transform the current version of the type artifact into a new version. The order in which the transforms are applied is directly set by the order of this method call. First come, first served, last one provides the final version of the artifacts.

Parameters
`type: ScopedArtifact`	the `ScopedArtifact` to transform.
`inputJars: (T) -> ListProperty<RegularFile>`	lambda that returns a `ListProperty` or `RegularFile` that will be used to set all incoming files for this artifact type.
`inputDirectories: (T) -> ListProperty<Directory>`	lambda that returns a `ListProperty` or `Directory` that will be used to set all incoming directories for this artifact type.
`into: (T) -> RegularFileProperty`	lambda that returns the `Property` used by the `Task` to save the transformed element. The `Property` value will be automatically set by the Android Gradle Plugin and its location should not be considered part of the API and can change in the future.
